Money In the Mouth.
Chicago Mail,

A lady entered an Indiana avenue car,
and after taking seat began the task of
getting out her nickle, and placing 1t in
her mouth, or at least between her lips,
thereupon replaced the pocketbook and
other articles. ut is strange" remarked
a physician who witnessed the incident,
show many ladies will take such risks,
as there Is no telling who has handled
that piece OF money. One would think
that ladies would be the last to put filthy
coins In their mouths, but nine out OF
ten OF them will do 1t just as that lady
across the car has done under similar
circumstances. of course there is great
danger OF contracting some cut8neous
disease, a danger that 10 intensified when
there is the least abrasion of the skin In
the vicinity Of the lips. 1t Ia certainly a
very questionable act on the score OF
cleanliness, as we'll as that Of health.

Westfall, one OF the Old pioneers OF
the city, who was known as Leather
stockings, and the first man to Sc tile
upon the Leona when Indians roved
around free In that district, was In the
city yesterday to see his old friend Tom
Rife. OF course they talked about old
friends and Judge Luckey's name came
up and Westfall said, "Tom did You
ever hear how 1t was that the Judge got
up the Aphorism? You can't trust a
mule. No. Well I'll tell you. We went
out TO cave TO hunt a bear, intending
TO get some good meat. We found the
bear but also found that it had been
dead for q month, and WAS Of course no
good, so we decided on getting good
fat buck. Verde along but could find
the judge rode of on his mule TO get
that buck. and sure enough he brought
1t into. camp. When speaking OF how
he got II the judge said he rode on till
he sighted fine buck which he decided
TO shoot from the saddle. When he got
good chance he took his feet out of the
stirrup, and bargaining for the mule TO
jump forward when he fired, he ar
ranged to fire and jump of rather than
be thrown. All was fixed. The Judge
fired, got his buck, threw himself awk-
wardly on the ground. When he picked
himself up he WAS astonished to find
that the mule had stood perfectly still.
Then said the Judge: you can't trust
mule, for he'll fool You every time.

Dog Doodle.

Much complaint has come to the LIGHT
office lately, and We Ourselves have a
grievance OF the manner in which the
dog catohers perform their duty. These
CGtChers are very energetic in nabblDg
on TO fine dog, regardless OF license or
no license, and will pass by hundreds OF
worthless ours belonging to some COM
padre. When fine dog is caught, and
having license on, instead of turning
him loose, the collar or license is taken
of and destroyed or thrown away and
the animal is taken on out to the pen.
The owner misses his pet canine for
which he has paid the required tax to
the city for the privilege OF being pro-
tected in the keeping of same, goes out
TO the dog pen, produces his license, but
ia required to come all the way back TO
town, about two miles ride, and get an
order for his property, first being re-
quircd to pay an extra % cents. The
proper officers should instruct these dog
Catchers in their duties, and not have
the citizens put to such unnecessary
trouble after they have complied with
the law and paid the tax.

President Arthur ate Iut two meals q

dinner in the evening. His breakfast was
a cup of coffee and cracker, with per-
haps piece of salt fish. His dinners be-
gan between and 8 in the evening" and
the guests often sat at them until mid
night President Arthur seldom ate
without having some invited guests at his
table. His private dinners are said to
have cost as much as $5 a plate, and his
public ones so plate and upward. As
he usually had fifty persons at these state
dinners, the nine which he gave during
the last year of his administration must
have cost at least $1,000.
1t required twelve servants to serve one
of these state dinners. The menus OF
two successive dinners were entirely diff
ferent, no dish at the one being the Same
as any served at the previous dinner, and
a different wine being served with every
course. His cook was Frenchman, and
